Abstract

The beetles from the Lower Cretaceous Lagerstätte in South Korea, Jinju Formation, remain largely unstudied. In the present study, the fossils of suborder Archostemata from the Jinju Formation are described and illustrated, including the complete bodies of Asiania pax gen. et sp. nov. and Brochocoleus sacheonensis sp. nov., and the isolated elytra of Brochocoleus cf. punctatus, Omma sp. and Zygadenia cornigera sp. nov.
